Francesca Giobbi, a specialist in luxury products and innovation in the lifestyle sector, and founder of the Freedom eE economy (www.freedomeE.network), which integrates health, wellness, and sustainability solutions, has formed a strategic partnership with Ghassan Aridi, the visionary behind WHTC, The Scene Hotels, and founder and CEO of Alpha Destination Management, one of the largest and most successful destination management companies in the Middle East. Together, they aim to bring together innovations from the integrated wellness sectors, a global market valued at $5.6 trillion.

Held in Marbella, recently awarded Best Destination in Europe 2024, the event provides a unique platform for industry leaders to connect, share innovations, and foster strategic collaborations that will shape the future of health tourism. With its exceptional climate, excellent accessibility, and a long-standing reputation as a premier health destination since the 1970s, Marbella is the perfect location for this essential event.

Through the WHTC, your company can position itself as one of the leading health tourism programs in Marbella, establish itself as a reference in health and wellness in your city, or expand your services and products to major global health and wellness destinations.
